“Bloobloobloobloop! (Hey, land freaks! How'd you like a tentacle sandwich?!)”
—Big Blooper, Super Paper Mario

Big Blooper is a boss who appears in Chapter 3-2 of Super Paper Mario, blocking the way through the Tile Pool and preventing Mario, Princess Peach and Bowser from reaching Fort Francis.

During its battle, the player may damage it by jumping on the tentacles when they are sticking up out of the water. The player may also use Thudley to ground-pound the tentacles or use Bowser's Fire Breath to damage them. If the player miss a tentacle when ground pounding, they will lose Heart Points. Slamming or burning the blue tentacles makes the more-sensitive red tentacles bob upward with more frequency. If Mario goes into 3D and tries to leave, the Big Blooper's tentacles will block the way.

Defeating Big Blooper does not earn the player any points, and the giant squid is not killed by the encounter. If the player enters the area where the Blooper's tentacles come out of the floor and ceiling, Big Blooper can be tattled using Tippi or Tiptron.

Big Blooper's theme is an arrangement of the underwater music from Super Mario Bros. 3. In the Japanese version of the game, Big Blooper's Catch Card describes it as hailing from the western seas, a reference to the Blooper from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, who is also said to hail from the western seas.[1]
